Chapter 177: Too Hard, Too Hard

Lao Mei has indeed made some good military action movies, such as "Black Hawk Down", "Saving Private Ryan" and so on. The achievements in this regard have been far ahead of other countries' films. In Chinese-language films, there is still a gap in the market in terms of contemporary military action themes.

In fact, it is not a complete vacuum, and there have been unsuccessful attempts, that is, "Codename Jaguar".

This movie is produced by Western Film Studio, directed by Zhang Yimu, and co-starring Uncle Ge and Gong Huang. It tells the story of a famous Taiwanese businessman's private plane hijacked by terrorists played by Uncle Ge and forced to land on an abandoned airport on the mainland, and then the two sides of the strait work together to rescue the hostages.

Among them, the terrorist Zheng Xianping played by Uncle Ge is thin and thin, and his acting is very murderous. When he learned through the secret sentry that a commando had climbed onto the top of the plane, he picked up a submachine gun and fired at the top of the plane, and the commando died on the spot.

This film was extremely unsuccessful and criticized at the time, so much so that Director Zhang did not dare to admit that it was his own work.

So that when someone mentioned this matter again later, Director Zhang had to explain that he owed the investor businessman, and he didn't pay much attention to the script that the other party was looking for, and the filming was completed in 27 days.

Perhaps because of the fact that the "national teachers" have all failed in this theme, or because of many factors such as the market and return to the capital, there has been no military action genre in Chinese movies for many years.

In this regard, "Wolf Warrior" is remarkable, and Wu Jing is courageous. But at this moment, it is not favored.

Song Ge is not very optimistic, and in another time and space, he missed the distribution right of "Wolf Warrior" because of this. As a result, it was obtained by Minnan Hengye and made a lot of money.

After reading the book of "Wolf Warrior", Song Ge frowned and said: "If you move the background of the story to a foreign country, you will definitely be able to shoot it well, it is not easy to get this piece in China, and it is difficult to get three hundred terrorists with loaded guns!"

Seeing Song Ge shaking his head slightly, Lu Lin couldn't help but think about whether to give up "Wolf Warrior 1" and come directly to 2, but if he chose so, this film would have no chance to come out!

In the background, it is really airplanes, artillery, tanks, all kinds of advanced weapons and tactics. After experiencing the baptism of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea", it is impossible for the audience to accept "Wolf Warrior 1" again.

Lu Lin thought for a while and said: "The script can continue to be revised and polished, as long as there are no big loopholes in the logic chain, and the audience can succeed if they don't play in the theater." ”

Song Gexin said this, he was very convinced of Lu Lin's ability. I just feel that putting the background of the story in China is too constrained to create.

I didn't want a few days to pass, Wu Jing was quite frustrated and brought the script to Lu Lin's villa.

"What's the situation?" Lu Lin asked.

Wu Jing sat down on the sofa, sighed, and said, "I showed this book to the Military Region and the General Bureau." ”

Lu Lin said: "No?"

Wu Jing said: "It's not all!"

Lu Lin smiled, "How do you say this?"

Wu Jing said: "The leaders on both sides didn't say no, they didn't say no, they just asked me to come back and study again." ”

Lu Lin said: "They can't be sure!"

"It should be!" Wu Jing thought for a while, and said: "For this film, the above is still very supportive, after all, it is also a main theme movie, and it is still very uplifting after it is filmed." Even in terms of this scale, I am a little uncertain, after all, there is no empirical reference. ”

Lu Lin sighed: "Hey, who let us be the first to eat crabs! Okay, then continue to change the script, good works are all changed several times!"

In fact, after this version of the script was written, Lu Lin also felt that something was wrong. It's really that the Chinese people's ability to interpret is too strong, and more than 300 terrorists with loaded guns have crossed the national border, maybe some netizens will interpret that this film is stationed in the black garrison, and it would not be great if this brought up the rhythm.

Lu Lin and Wu Jing stayed in the villa and continued to discuss and write scripts, and the news that Longlin Pictures, Lu Lin and Wu Jing were going to shoot a domestic military action blockbuster also spread, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while.

The first reaction of fans is, for Mao not to shoot "Lich Wars", hurry up and get on this, let's wait and see!

On the official website forum of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", many fans left messages to discuss.

Some said: "Director Lu, don't make a military action movie, hurry up and get on "Lich Wars", filming now may still guarantee the original cast, wait for three or five years, the actors' salaries will rise, can you still shoot it?"

Another person said: "Domestic military action themes, there is no way out at all." Whoever you hit, just this question, it's not easy to hit whoever you want!"

"Of course, the domestic thieves and bandits will be cleaned up by the public security and armed police! As for the terrorists, they can't even buy guns when they come in!"

……

Netizens have discussed a lot, and people in the film and television industry have also discussed this matter in private. Director Feng, who was polishing the script of "Private Custom" with Wang Shuo, sneered: "This Lu Lin is really floating, domestic military action movies, the old man was broken, and he still dares to play this!"

Leaning on the sofa, Wang Shuo, who looked ruffian, said: "Not necessarily, maybe someone will shoot it, I see that you are jealous!"

Director Feng started by relying on Wang Shuo, and it can be said that he has to ask Wang Shuo whenever he is in trouble.

Before the release of "No Thieves in the World", it was not reviewed by the General Administration, and the reason was very simple: "Let the thief be the protagonist, there is no precedent, what is the motive of the thief to do good?"

Director Feng was about to go crazy, and asked Liu Zhenyun to revise the draft, but he still couldn't review it. I had no choice but to invite Wang Shuo.

People go through the plot: It's simple, get pregnant, let the female thief get pregnant, and then go into the temple to burn incense. The result is not only logical, but also elevated the style through religious feelings, so capable.

Therefore, for Director Feng, it is not a matter of being damaged by "Shuoye". And said: "I'm such a big person, can I be jealous of his hairy child?

Wang Shuo smiled, "Oh, are you still fighting for me?"

Director Feng: "Of course, who are you, the soul of our Beijing circle, Zheng Xiaolong, Zhao Baogang, Jiang Wen, Ye Whale, and Big Eagle, which one didn't rely on you to get mixed up in the circle!"

Wang Shuo felt that there was light on his face when he heard this, and he smiled and waited for Director Feng to say it.

"Although Lu Lin's hometown is from other places, he grew up in the capital, and later entered the film and television circle, so he can be regarded as a member of our Beijing circle. But he hasn't come to you to worship the dock yet, is there any rules, and does he still know how to be polite?" Feng Daoyi was stern.

Wang Shuo's eyes blinked, and he suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked at Director Feng, and scolded with a smile: "Fuck your uncle, provoke me to help you get angry, right?"

Director Feng smiled and dodged back, and said, "It's really not me who provoked, this is too unruly!"
